The well-being of immigrants: The role of migration, past and present life

Who doesn’t know them, the fairy tales of Brother’s Grimm? Although there are many, the fantastic stories from our childhood have one thing in common: their promise, that no matter what hard times a protagonist goes through, his or her efforts will eventually be rewarded with eternal happiness.
Much like the heroes and heroines of these timeless tales, today, millions of people around the world embark on their own arduous journeys, voluntarily or involuntarily, and leave behind their homeland in search of a brighter future.
This project brings together work about whether these people succeed, and the factors that contribute to achieving or missing their goal.
